Just like cooking, fishing is also a crucial mechanic that players will have to unlock in Harvestella. At the beginning of the game, it’s impossible not to stumble upon a fishing spot. There are numerous spots scattered around each area in the world map of Harvestella.
Fishing allows players to collect ingredients, which will come in handy when they purchase recipes at the General Store or receive them from other characters. It can be a bit expensive to unlock fishing, but it will be worth it. Fish has many advantages in Harvestella that can’t be ignored.
How To Unlock Fishing In Harvestella
To unlock fishing in Harvestella, players must purchase the Fishing Knowledge from the General Store in Lethe Village. According to the game description, It’s a book that makes it possible to fish. It costs 800 Grilla which may not be an easy amount for early-game players.
Once the Fishing Knowledge is obtained, head to any fishing spot to start catching fish. There are 50+ types of fish scattered around the areas of Harvestella.
Other than using fish for cooking In Harvestella, they can also be put in the blue Shipping Box to receive some Grilla. Each fish has its own price, and it also depends on its rarity.
How To Earn Grilla For The Fishing Knowledge
The Fishing Knowledge costs 800 Grilla at the General Store. To easily accumulate the required sum of money, it’s best to collect materials like Wild Leafs, Little Mushrooms, Lumbers, Hard Stones, and Cool Berries from Njord Steppe and the Bird’s Eye Brae. Both areas are available from Day 2 in Harvestella.
Additionally, it’s also possible to ship crops from players’ personal gardens. If travelers have the hammer, they can destroy the rocks to earn more space, thus, creating a space for more crops to grow.
How To Fish In Harvestella
To fish in Harvestella, travelers need to interact with a fishing spot to throw in the fishing rod. It will be quiet for a while, then the bait will start to bop up and down. Shortly after, the fish will pull the bait and make a splash. When that happens, immediately press the Catch button to reel in the fish. The process is very simple and requires patience.
It is feasible to fish in the same fishing spot multiple times, but it will take more time, as the fish are spooked and will wait before taking the bait.
Where Are The Fishing Spots
As for the fishing spots, they are represented by a small fish that appears on the mini-map. Each region in the world of Harvestella possesses a certain number of fishing spots. Additionally, each one yields certain types of fish that may not be found in other areas.
Harvestella is now available on PC and Nintendo Switch.
